A Dr. Jeanne Morrison, PhD , Family Medicine, answered. You can manage a closed fracture on a daily basis by elevation of the extremity, ice in the early stage (be careful not to burn the skin - keep a layer of padding between the ice bag and the skin), and rest. Good nutrition and adequate hydration is also important.
Here are 9 actions you can take to prevent stress fractures: 1  Make training adjustments gradually. 2  Be careful when changing surfaces. 3  Check your equipment. 4  Check your form. 5  Get enough calcium and vitamin D. 6  Use caution when transitioning from off-season to peak-season. 7  Cross-train. 8  Take breaks during vacation. 9  Switch up your shoe style.
